“Leveraging the latest CryENGINE technology, we’re able to deliver seven unique themes that offer stunning and visually loaded gameplay experiences. We cannot wait until people get their hands on the game,” said Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli.

Crysis 3 will see the player take on the role of Prophet as he returns to New York City. Once Prophet returns, it will be evident that the city has been encased in a Nanodrome which was created by the corrupt and evil Cell Corporation.

“The New York City Liberty Dome is a veritable urban rainforest teeming with overgrown trees, dense swamplands and raging rivers,” the statement reads. “Within the Liberty Dome, seven distinct and treacherous environments become known as the Seven Wonders.

“This dangerous new world demands advanced weapons and tactics. Prophet will utilize a lethal composite bow, an enhanced Nanosuit and devastating alien tech to become the deadliest hunter on the planet.”

Expect Crysis 3 to be set in 2047, where Prophet will be on a revenge mission. The mission sees Prophet uncover the truth behind Nanodome.

As far as the story goes, it was said that “the citizens were told that the giant citywide structures were resurrected to protect the population and to cleanse these metropolises of the remnants of Ceph forces,” says EA.

“In reality, the Nanodomes are CELL’s covert attempt at a land and technology grab in their quest for global domination. With Alien Ceph lurking around every corner and human enemies on the attack, nobody is safe in the path of vengeance. Everyone is a target in Prophet’s quest for retribution.”
